In a significant shakeup of its Goa leadership, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday (January 11, 2026) appointed senior leader Valmiki Naik as the president of the party's state unit.
The party had removed Amit Palekar from the state president's post following the party's dismal performance in the Zilla Panchayat (ZPs) elections last month.
